Hi...I just joined this forum yesterday, have search the topics, but haven’t found the answer to my particular question. My sleeve surgery is in 1 week. My worry is that so many here stress the importance of water, yet it sounds as if it is hard to get enough. I am a big water drinker and can down a 22-ounce glass of it in one shot. I understand that I will not be able to do that after surgery! But my fear is that I will be walking around thirsty-continually-until my stomach is completely healed. Or maybe forever. Can someone tell me if you feel extremely thirsty all the time or do you adjust to small sips easily? How long does it take before you can drink more than an ounce or two at a time? Will I ever be able to drink a normal glass of water ever again?
